The decision to drop two nuclear weapons on Japan was based upon the belief that Japan would not easily surrender through conventional fighting, and that the war would drag on for months at the cost of many more lives. It was also believed that an invasion of the Japanese mainland was the only way the war would end, and that such an invasion would result in a loss of life for both sides totaling in the hundreds of thousands. I do not know if any other options were considered or even available. If those beliefs were correct, the use of nuclear weapons against Japan had the effect of causing the surrender of Japan with significantly lower loss of life. For the living, then, it appears to be the better choice.
